I’ve never seen anyone play like him before or since. He was incredible at faking his opponents out of their shoes and going in for easy lay-ups. His arching jump shot was text-book perfect. I too remember the PBT game against Bishop O’Dowd and was one of the screaming fans in that five-minute ovation.
The headline in the local paper put it well (over Sequoia’s loss to O’Dowd): “Five Dragons too much for one Saint George”.

I grew up and was fortunate enough to know him as a child, he just happened to be a friend of my fathers. This guy was my IDOL because of who he was and how great of a person he was. He would take me out and play B ball and always encourage me even though I really stunk back then, but he still made me feel special. He was a gentle GIANT to me because I was very short but it wasnt his size so much as his heart that made him a giant in my eyes. To come from and do what he has done in the game of basketball and in life, he was so humble. And to think he would spend time with a spoiled little kid and be so cool, man words cant express it. CJ my IDOL, “THE BIGGEST WARRIOR of THEM ALL!!”
